Chapter 291 Tungsten Ore

Austria.

On the tall Alps, a group of people was walking with difficulty. The road was so rough that they could not use vehicles at all, and could only walk on their own two legs.

Even so, they still carry heavy equipment, one step at a time.

"According to General Cyric's inference, it is likely to be here." A middle-aged man said: "Do it!"

Get your hands on it! A few people put down the equipment they were carrying. Soon, they assembled the equipment. A small gasoline engine was started, and the equipment hummed. Below, a drill bit, Soon he got into the rock.

This is a geological team, and each of them is strong. After all, the life of the geological team is the most difficult, such as now.

For the sake of the empire, they have to unearth more minerals, this is their mission! The tall Alps are not only beautiful, but also rich in minerals!

Light a bonfire, make a cup of coffee, and stop for a break between drilling.

"Hans, do you think our inference is correct?" a young geological team member, holding bread and drinking coffee, said to the leader.

"Of course it is correct, General Cyric's inference has always been extremely accurate!" Hans said.

"I heard that I used to go to Libya to drill for oil. It's a joke? It's been more than ten years, and I haven't heard of anything there."

"You idiot, do you really have anything to say? Pay attention to the discipline in the secrecy manual. We are here. If we find anything, we can't say it, otherwise, we will report to the Gestapo headquarters!" Hans Gesture smashed the wrong-spoken man with his hand.

"I found it, I found it!" At this moment, on the side of the drilling rig, a person shouted loudly: "It really is tungsten ore, and the quality is not bad!"

I found it, and when I drilled down a few meters, I found tungsten ore!

Immediately, the entire geological team cheered.

Not in vain!

In the Austrian Alps, tungsten ore was discovered! The news quickly spread back to Berlin!

"Cyric, you are really our hero!" Hitler couldn't hide his inner joy. Germany is a country that lacks resources. For example, as an important rare metal tungsten, Germany can only import it.

Historically, Germany imported a large amount from China, and it is the same now. However, with this tungsten mine, there is no need to worry anymore!

After all, it takes a long way to import from China, and once it enters a state of war, the sea is easily blocked by the United States.

"Cyric, how do you know there are tungsten mines there?" Goering on the side was also puzzled.

"I guess." Cyric's voice was a little lazy.

When it comes to World War II, later generations always have a lot of sighs. For example, if Rommel knew that there was oil in the Libyan desert, would he still fail in North Africa?

If Hitler knew that Austria had the second largest tungsten mine in the world, would he still worry about the metal?

Austria's tungsten mines, in later generations, reached an annual scale of 400,000 tons of ore and produced 1,800 tons of commercial metal tungsten. And after entering the war, even if it is only half of this amount, it is enough for Germany to use!

This is the best material for making armor-piercing bullets! Before the advent of depleted uranium, tungsten alloy armor-piercing projectiles were the best.

"Führer, I suggest that this matter be kept silent." Cyric said: "We now need to secretly develop this tungsten mine, let Reinhardt find a large number of death row prisoners, and first carry out the basic construction of the mining area, including the connection to Vienna. The establishment of various factories in the road, railway, mining area, the construction of mineral processing, smelting and other equipment.”

It is for the sake of secrecy of course to find death-row prisoners. After all the infrastructure here is built, there will only be one fate for these death-row prisoners.

"Now, we still import tungsten ore. After all, our import channel is not blocked in any way, and once our import channel is blocked, we can immediately start the production of tungsten ore here." Cyric continued.

Just like oil, you should hide it first and use it as a back-up. When you use it, you can use it immediately.

The problem of tungsten ore has been solved, and at the same time, another rare metal that German armored forces need most is molybdenum. This metal is a necessary rare metal used by Germany to make armor.

In the whole of Europe, except for the Soviet Union, only Norway has abundant molybdenum ore. Historically, in 1944, the U.S. imperialists launched a strategic bombing aimed at Norway's molybdenum ore. As a result, after the bombing, the German armored forces shrunk severely. Without this metal, they could only use the surface carburizing process to strengthen the armor. the quality of.

At present, Norway has not been conquered, and it can only be temporarily stocked by importing a large amount of ores from the Soviet Union, as long as it can be used to conquer Norway.

At the same time, after the war broke out, priority was given to protecting these mining areas.

Now, why does Cyric demand secrecy? Of course, it is to keep the outside world from knowing, so as not to be bombed. When the power of the whole of Europe is integrated, will the United States still have the ability to bomb?

"Cyric, your opinion is correct," Hitler said. "Just do it your way."

Hitler was in high spirits.

With Hitler's decision, the death row inmates in prisons in Germany, Austria, and the Czech Republic all ushered in the most tragic period of their lives.

They were told that as long as they labored, they could exchange for freedom, but when they were transported to the mining area and worked under the whip of the overseer, they realized that this was a kind of work that would tire them to death. .

Some condemned prisoners tried to escape, but were mercilessly shot by the surrounding Gestapo, while the remaining condemned prisoners could only endure day by day. The remaining number, less than half!

They were then loaded into a car and sent deeper into the mountains, where the sound of MG43 machine gunfire was heard.

Everything is so natural, and countless wronged souls are entangled in the valley.

In this era, only the strongest can survive!

When the Czech Republic was occupied, the wheels of the German war suddenly stopped! The Germans suddenly became harmless rabbits, so some people relaxed again, thinking that Hitler had finally had enough to eat after annexing the Czech Republic.

There are also some people who know that the next time there is a war, it will be shocking, such as Churchill, who continues to tell the story. Unfortunately, many people feel extremely tired of his war remarks!

Time passed day by day. During this time, Cyric did not relax. He wanted Germany to win World War II. This year is very important!

On this day, he took a car and came to GEMA company.
